     Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Statements  made in this  filing  that  relate to future  events  are made
pursuant  to  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995.  These
forward-looking  statements are based upon current  expectations and PNM assumes
no  obligation to update this  information.  Because  actual  results may differ
materially from  expectations,  PNM cautions readers not to place undue reliance
on these statements. A number of factors, including weather, fuel costs, changes
in supply and  demand in the  market for  electric  power,  the  performance  of
generating units and transmission  systems, and state and federal regulatory and
legislative  decisions  and actions,  including  the  wholesale  electric  power
pricing  mitigation  plan ordered by the Federal  Energy  Regulatory  Commission
(FERC) on June 18,  2001,  rulings  issued by the New Mexico  Public  Regulation
Commission  (NMPRC) pursuant to the Electric Utility Industry  Restructuring Act
of 1999 (as  amended),  and in other  cases now  pending or which may be brought
before the FERC or the NMPRC, or other actions relating to utility restructuring
or stranded  cost  recovery,  could  cause PNM  results to differ  from  results
forecast  in this news  release.  For a  detailed  discussion  of the  important
factors  affecting  PNM,  please see  ``Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations'' in the company's Form 10-K (as
